Our fleet of campervans rental in Grenoble


Hire a campervan in Grenoble

Being the highest mountain range in western Europe, the Alps are an almost infinite playground. Being able to enjoy them completely freely, whatever the time of year, very few options can match the Grenoble campervan hire.

Road trip from Grenoble: the perfect starting point to nature

It goes without saying (but we’ll say it anyway) that the Grenoble campervan hire is essential to enjoying vanlife in the mountains off the beaten track, from spring to summer. Ideally placed at the foot of the Chartreuse Massif and on the doorstep of the Vercors Regional Nature Park, Grenoble is an ideal starting point, making hiring a motorhome in Isère the perfect way to head up to breathe in the fresh air of the highest reaches of the region. After hiring a Volkswagen California camper, for example, in Grenoble, a few well-negotiated bends will get you to the Plateau des Petites Roches, the world capital of free flight. Whether in the Vercors, the Chartreuse or further away in the Ecrins or Vanoise national parks, hiring a campervan in the Alps will give amateur hikers the chance to explore the almost infinite and breathtaking trails. Until you park up in Charmonix, and why not, to go admire Mont Blanc close up.

Van hire in Grenoble for winter: the perfect option for snow sports

Obviously, when we talk about the Alps, it's hard not to also think about winter sports. Skiing, snowboarding, sledging, snowshoeing, there are so many extremely athletic activities which you can fully enjoy through the Grenoble campervan hire. This could even turn out to be the solution of the future! While snow conditions are becoming more and more unreliable, the flexibility offered by the Isère campervan hire will allow you to adapt your trip devoted to skiing by following the snow to where the conditions are best. Two days in La Plagne (ah-ooh cha cha cha), one day in Deux Alpes, and so on, the Grenoble campervan hire guarantees you the best snow conditions. What’s more, those who love to glide more smoothly can hire a campervan in the Alps to discover the biathlon sites of Bois Barby or Corrençon, and the ski resorts of Autrans or Lans-en-Vercors, right in the middle of the larch and pine trees, to indulge in the joys of Nordic skiing. Lastly, there's nothing to stop you from looking a bit further afield and heading to enjoy the Swiss or Italians resorts. Thanks to campervan hire in the Alps, you can ski in the Dolomites !

Discover Alpine gastronomy in a camper van from Grenoble

Lastly, exploring a region also means getting to know its regional delicacies. The Grenoble campervan hire allows you to immerse yourself in the famous Chartreuse liqueur, the Savoyard cold meats, the Reblochon or Tomme de Savoie cheeses, or further west the côtes du Rhône wines or the Ardéche specialities such as Mique or Caillette. There are so many different and varied dishes for you to try once you’ve parked up in your spot for the night. More than enough to flavour your memories with unparalleled tastes.

Our team of professionals at the WeVan Grenoble campervan rental agency will be happy to help you plan your next van road trip in the Alps !

Campervan rental for a road trip

I would add a sixth star to the service provided by the WeVan team in Grenoble. For my first rental of a converted van - Strada Avanti, I was very well looked after on the day I received the van and during my stay. You can hire with complete peace of mind and then enjoy a personalised, friendly approach. Have a great trip!

Campervan hire for a road trip in the Alps

Very good experience for a first adventure with WeVan. We wanted to rent a campervan in Grenoble to go on a road trip through the Alps. The Ford Nugget campervan was very comfortable and in perfect condition. We can't wait to go back!

Julien Silvestre

Van hire for a France trip

We were looking for a campervan hire agency in Grenoble and we tried the WeVan experience: from the warm welcome to the availability of each member of their team, they assisted us in the preparation of our campervan road trip. We chose to rent the Volkswagen California campervan and we had a great vacation! Special mention to Jean-Baptiste for his help in the planning of this adventure.

Frequently asked questions

Which itinerary should you follow in a campervan from Grenoble to discover the Chartreuse?

As soon as the passes reopen, here are the ideal stops for a campervan road trip in the Chartreuse. The stops are in chronological order, and the distance given is the one separating each point from the previous stop.

- the summit of Chamechaude and its many hikes, 45 minutes from the WeVan Grenoble agency;
- the easy hike of the charming Le Som and its panoramic view over the Chartreuse, 20 minutes away;
- the museum of the Grande Chartreuse, an active monastery, 10 minutes away;
- the Cirque de Saint-Même nature reserve, 30 minutes away;
- the village of Entremont-le-Vieux, famous for its dairy cooperative, 25 minutes away;
- the Pichut waterfall, 30 minutes away;
- Lake Saint-André, lined with vineyards, 15 minutes away;

- the Alloix waterfall, 10 minutes away and 40 minutes from the WeVan Grenoble agency.

We recommend hiring a campervan in Grenoble for between 3 and 7 days, depending on the number of sporting activities planned in the region.

Which large campervan should you hire in Grenoble to travel around the Alpine massifs?

First bit of good news: all the campervans and large campervans available for hire at WeVan Grenoble are fitted with a night heater. Even in the depths of winter, keep a pleasant temperature on board your campervan while using only one or two litres of fuel per night.

As for the driving experience, it all depends on your habits. As a general rule, campervans are more compact and easier to manoeuvre on narrow mountain roads. However, they offer less self-sufficiency than a large campervan, which comes with a toilet and a shower.

Do you need dedicated insurance to hire a campervan in the mountains?

No, there is no dedicated insurance to protect your hired campervan or large campervan in the mountains. We offer three protection packs, from the basic insurance included in your booking to the premium insurance. If you're worried about windscreen damage or possible tyre damage, the latter is the one for you.

Is the campervan hire agency in Grenoble open 7 days a week?

Yes, the WeVan Grenoble campervan hire agency is open Monday to Sunday. From Monday to Saturday, we welcome you from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. and from 2 p.m. to 7 p.m., and on Sunday from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m. These hours may vary and differ from the return hours.

We offer self-service returns, allowing you to return your campervan at a time of your choice, for a €15 supplement (indicative price, subject to change). The condition report will be carried out by the WeVan Grenoble team as soon as the agency reopens. We will release the card pre-authorisation after checking that everything is in order.

Do you offer snow chains or winter tyres with a campervan hired in Grenoble?

In Isère, and more broadly across the whole Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, the Loi Montagne (mountain law) requires snow tyres or the possession of snow socks or chains on most high-altitude roads, from 1 November to 31 March. If you're hiring a campervan to go skiing, there's no way around it. The WeVan Grenoble hire agency can fully equip your campervan for €15/day (price subject to change). This option must be confirmed when booking online.
